Helmet Dryer/Cooling Fan Unit

[JC]

Hey folks.
I've decided to build myself one of those helmet drying/cooling fans and I thought I would share it with you.

Got from Jaycar a laptop cooling fan unit $12, a 240v electric fan $29 and a rocker switch with light indicator.
Removed the original fan and attached the 240v and the light switch. Decide to glue the indicator instead cut the acrylic (just lazy)
476
477
478

A bit of Google search and learned how to wire it properly without blowing things up.:ranger:
479
480

And here we go...
482
483

Its not the prettiest or hi tech but it will do the work for less than $60

That's friggin' awesome!!! I've been wanting one of these, but didn't think you could get a 240v fan that cheap! I'm making one too!!

Thanks for sharing JC :thumb: :cheer:

Not gonna lie to you, I bought one of these but always forgot to bring it to the track... at $29 free delivery and no need to mess around with stuff it works for me!

Ps: Just tilt the thing to 90º and put the helmet on top
